What they’re saying

“I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture.”

— Tom Morello (Rolling Stone)

“The E Street Band is a pretty big house. But [Morello] builds on another room. He builds on a room that hadn't existed before... He became a filter that I ran all of that music through, and he would send it back to me with a very current slant on it. I'm not sure if the record would exactly exist without his influence.”

— Bruce Springsteen (Rolling Stone)

What’s next

Morello will need to reschedule some of his solo shows to accommodate the E Street Band tour dates.
